In Episode 34 of Beyond Nrml w/ Mya Lamis, we talk about being overwhelmed by the world but not surprised — especially during Black History Month, when we reflect on the ongoing pain, progress, division, and resilience in America.

I open with a personal moment: responding to a rude commenter only to discover they’re actually my cousin — and how we handled it respectfully. From there, we dig into current events, racial justice, politics, and media narratives that continue to shape our society.

✨ In this episode we discuss:

• The emotional toll of constant bad headlines and feeling desensitized

• Racial profiling and controversy over immigration enforcement

• The ongoing fallout from the Alex Pretti shooting and investigations (where the FBI has declined to share evidence with Minnesota authorities) and the larger protests against federal agents’ actions in Minneapolis 👇

• How media spin and national narratives can obscure truth

• The Candace Owens / Erika Kirk / Megyn Kelly discussions circulating in public discourse

• Political accountability and the Trump administration’s approach to federal enforcement

• Division within the diaspora, systemic structures built to divide us

• Why consistency leads to success — personally and collectively

• Lessons from 2025 and how I’m applying them in 2026

• Building financial freedom, supporting each other, and valuing growth

💭 “This is a lot — and it’s heavy — but ignoring it doesn’t make it go away.”

This episode is for anyone who’s questioned what they see in the news, felt frustrated by ongoing injustice, or wants perspective on how to navigate truth while staying grounded and focused on purpose.

✨ In this episode we discuss:

• A real conversation with someone in my comments — and how we agreed to disagree

• How ICE and federal immigration agents are being criticized for use of force, including the death of Minneapolis resident Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse shot by Border Patrol officers during an enforcement operation in Minnesota in January 2026

• How law enforcement practices that many see today feel like a historical continuation of racist policing

• Why the media spin often contradicts the reality people personally witness

• How society responds differently to injustice depending on politics

• The importance of building financial freedom as a way to protect communities

• Supporting each other as we learn new skills without breaking the bank

In Episode 31 of Beyond Nrml w/ Mya Lamis, I’m joined by two special guests as we open up about our shared experience working at the same job — and being fired from it.

This episode is about job trauma, toxic work environments, and the emotional toll of workplaces rooted in favoritism, racism, manipulation, and dishonesty.

• Favoritism and how it creates division

• Why workplace trauma deserves to be taken seriously

• Healing, boundaries, and moving forward after a toxic job

💭 “Just because it was a job doesn’t mean the trauma wasn’t real.”

If you’ve ever questioned your worth because of a workplace, felt silenced at a job, or are still healing from an environment that broke you down — this episode is for you.
